That is a great question, but is IMHO too socially / politically sensitive for Americans to address seriously.
An honest and open discussion about root causes isn't going to happen - especially here on Hacker News.
- m_mueller 12y agoWell, there is some discussion, I don't think the thread quality is too bad. What's interesting is the shifting voting behaviour though. First it went to 15 points, then (it was evening in the US) more and more people seem to not have liked the discussion much, so they downvoted me, and now the Europeans have come online and a few more upvotes trickle in. But other than that the discussion seems reasonable - I wouldn't want to try that on /r/politics and such.
